You need to define a ContextDeployer with a non-zero scan interval:

  
    
      
      /contexts
      1
    
  

Regarding debugging, I guess that what you have in mind is to connect a remote debugger using JPDA. For this, you'll need to set the -agentlib:jdwp option¹:

-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005

The configure your IDE debugger to connect on the specified port.

_{¹ if the target VM is 5.0 or newer, -agentlib:jdwp is preferable over the -Xdebug and -Xrunjdwp options which are still supported though.}
